The ISPM states: «There is no globally - consistent pattern in long -
term precipitation trends.»
Not exact matches
In
terms of
precipitation, a decrease was observed in annual
precipitation over the period as a whole, although these
trends «are not significant.»
«Our study has found evidence to the contrary, suggesting that in fact, the future long -
term trend based on paleoclimate reconstructions is likely towards diminishing
precipitation, with no relief in the form of increased Mediterranean storms, the primary source of annual
precipitation to the region, in the foreseeable future.»
Given that the long -
term trend in early spring snowpack is down, Climate Central recently examined how the type of
precipitation is changing during the winter months nationwide.
> GHCN - Monthly is used operationally by NCDC to monitor long -
term trends in temperature and
precipitation....
For example, nearly all recent model intercomparisons show that AOGCMs poorly reproduce
precipitation in 30 ° S - 30 ° N, they still diverge for cloud cover evolution at different levels of the vertical column, and I don't clearly understand for my part how we can speculate on long
term trends of tropospheric T without a good understanding of these convection - condensation -
precipitation process.
Averaging smoothes out day - to - day and year - to - year natural weather variability and extremes, removing much of the chaotic behavior, revealing any underlying long
term trends in climate, such as a long
term increase or decrease in temperature, or long
term shifts in
precipitation patterns.
Further, let's agree that this will on average cause more
precipitation due to increased evaporation at these higher temperatures (the best data I have seen say that the
precipitation trend over the continental US — where we have the best long
term records — is up 5 - 10 % over the last century).
Long -
term trends in
precipitation amounts from 1900 to 2005 have been observed in many large regions (Figure TS.9).
Precipitation is highly variable spatially and temporally, and robust long -
term trends have not been established for other large regions.

Australia's unusual soils and topography prevented the majority of this
precipitation from running off into the ocean, leading to a halt in the long -
term trend of rising sea levels.
Swain and a team of three other researchers from Stanford, Northwestern and Columbia universities looked at data between 1949 and 2015 to see if there were any
trends in the kinds of atmospheric patterns that historically resulted in meteorological extremes in California in
terms of both temperature and
precipitation.
Clearly, the huge increases in CO2 levels have not demonstrably changed long -
term precipitation (see the unchanged bright green fitted
trend curve).
Rigorous analyses have shown that natural variability alone can not explain the observed long -
term trends of changing extremes in temperature and
precipitation.12
Pronounced long -
term trends from 1900 to 2005 have been observed in
precipitation amount in some places: significantly wetter in eastern North and South America, northern Europe and northern and central Asia, but drier in the Sahel, southern Africa, the Mediterranean and southern Asia.
Scientists also factored long -
term, climate change
trends into the three - month seasonal outlook by looking at the last 10 to 15 years of temperature and
precipitation across the country.
